interface.

Some switching features operate on PortShield Groups and require preliminary configuration on the
Network > PortShield Groups page. Some operate on existing Network > Interface configurations. The
Port Security feature uses MAC address objects. For more information about configuring these related
features in SonicOS, see the SonicOS 5.7 Administrator’s Guide.
For details about the operation of each switching feature, see the related section under the “Configuring
Switching” section on page 5.
